====== Creating a new installation ======

This is usually referred to as "Creating an instance" - an instance is a set of data, configuration etc, owned by an "instance owner", it is what keeps your installation different from other peoples installations, they are a different "instance".

''NOTE:'' You will require approval from Iain Maltz before you can follow these steps, who should provide you with a few group invites too.

You should add the Experience to your parcel - in your viewer click on the World menu then Parcel Details.  If you click on the right arrow next to the tabs at the top of the window that opens, you will find the 'Experiences' tab - select this and click "Add..." next to Allowed Experiences, and add the experience named "Permissions Request".

You should rez a Server on your region, which will give some error about region not being registered.

You should then say in local chat <nowiki>"**createinstance "</nowiki> followed by the name of your instance, for example

<nowiki>**createinstance Test Instance</nowiki>

The server you deployed should reboot and you will have a new instance with you as the instance owner.

The default configuration has autoattach disabled so you can configure settings before everyone gets a HUD sent out - you can click on the server and a HUD will be rezzed for you.

You should then click the bottom right button on the HUD's quick buttons (the 6 buttons on the left of the HUD) which will open the website for you, and then you should configure your instance.
